Paul Volpe is no longer seated in the main tournament area here on Day 1b of the EPT Berlin Main Event. We went over to investigate the situation, and thankfully Kitty Kuo was nice enough to share the details.
According to Kuo, a player under the gun opened for a raise to 500, a player on his direct left three-bet to 1,300, and Volpe cold four-bet to 3,500. The original raiser folded, the three-bettor five-bet to 7,200, and Volpe called.
The flop came ![]()
![]()
, Volpe's opponent moved all in, and Volpe called, putting himself at risk.
Volpe: ![]()
![]()
Opponent: ![]()
![]()
The turn was a

Can Pratyush Buddiga, who finished in eighth place last season, repeat that deep run? The PokerStars Blog asks the question.
Jan-Peter Jachtmann opened the action with a raise to 800 from early position. A few seats later Gintaras Simaitis announced a three-bet all in for 5,525 total. It folded to Sebastian Ruthenberg in the small blind who took a moment before announcing a flat call.
Action was back on Jachtmann and he announced a four-bet all in over the top for 15,750 total. Ruthenberg called and the hands were tabled.
Ruthenberg: ![]()
![]()
Jachtmann: ![]()
![]()
Simaitis: ![]()

Jachtmann was way out in the lead with his pocket aces and it looked like trouble for Ruthenberg and Simaitis. The flop brought ![]()
![]()

"It's coming!" Ruthenberg said with a smile.
Unfortunately for the Team Pro, his prediction was incorrect, as the turn was the

Jachtmann was able to knock out a player and double up in the process to about 42,000. Simaitis, on the other hand, hit the rail while Ruthenberg was crippled to only about 4,000.
